Brims Castle

Brims Castle is a ruined 16th century L-plan tower house on Brims Ness, Highland region, Scotland, to the south of the Pentland Firth,[1] about 5 miles (8 km) north west of Thurso.

[2] By the late twentieth century it was occupied as part of the adjacent farm, but it has become increasingly ruinous, and it is in a dangerous state.

The entrance at the junction of the main block and the stair jamb has a semi-circular open turret over it.

[2] Local ghostlore states that a white lady, the ghost of the daughter of James Sinclair of Uttersquoy is said to haunt the building.

Supposedly Patrick Sinclair of Brims was her lover but murdered her and concealed her body in the castle when he had tired of her.
